1948 Map of South Fort Smith
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Poteau River winds along the border of Oklahoma and Arkansas, carving a path between the growing urban center of South Fort Smith and the neighboring settlements of Arkoma and Pocola. This mid-century landscape is defined by its transition from industrial and rail hubs to the prominent ridgelines of George Mountain and White Bluff Mountain. Educational and religious institutions are well-documented, including the St Scholastica Academy and the White Bluff Church, alongside numerous local schools like South Side High Sch and Orr Sch. The map reveals the industrial footprint of the era through a saw mill, strip mines, and several borrow pits, while the Missouri Pacific and St Louis San Francisco railroads trace the movement of goods and people through the river valley.
